Belated Credit When (And If) Due

Obama signed an executive order requiring cost-benefit analysis of proposed federal regulations. See here and here, for example. Obama signed the order in January 2011---soon after the election of 2010 expressed emphatic dissatisfaction about his policies.

agenda-driven rulemaking, it's a move in the right direction and a nod
to doing the right thing.

It's "surprising" that I didn't notice this in the conservative blogosphere at the time.
